EGW 1911 Trigger – Flat 1911 w/ Tank Treads

EGW 1911 Trigger – Flat with Tank Treads

Modern Control with Proven 1911 Trigger Engineering

Designed for Consistency, Strength, and Reliability

First and foremost, the EGW flat 1911 trigger with tank‑tread serrations delivers a cleaner, more consistent trigger feel shot after shot. Instead of relying on outdated designs, EGW reengineered this 1911 trigger to eliminate common failure points. As a result, you gain dependable performance without unnecessary adjustments or compromises.

No Over‑Travel Screw for Maximum Reliability

Traditionally, over‑travel screws create more problems than solutions. While many shooters adjust them expecting a lighter pull, the screw only limits rearward trigger movement. Consequently, when turned in too far, it blocks hammer release and can render the pistol inoperable. Therefore, EGW removes the screw entirely. This design choice ensures smoother operation, consistent function, and improved long‑term reliability.

Flat Trigger Face with Tank‑Tread Serrations

At the same time, the flat trigger face features aggressive tank‑tread serrations for enhanced control. Because the face remains nearly flat with a subtle radius, your finger contacts the center of the trigger consistently. As a result, you receive better tactile feedback, improved trigger control, and a comfortable feel even with imperfect finger placement during fast draws or rapid strings of fire.

Built on Videki‑Standard Trigger Bows

Moreover, EGW forms each trigger bow using original Videki dies, long regarded as the gold standard in 1911 trigger manufacturing. Consequently, the bow maintains precise geometry, smooth travel, and reliable alignment inside the frame. This attention to detail translates directly into a more predictable and refined trigger pull.

Dual‑Retention Bow Attachment for Strength

Additionally, EGW secures the trigger bow using both mechanical staking and red Loctite. If one system were ever to fail, the other continues to hold the bow firmly in place. Furthermore, EGW stress‑tests this joint by twisting the bow through extreme angles with pliers. Even under this abuse, the stake remains solid. Therefore, the trigger stays secure under competition, duty, or high‑round‑count use.

Taller Trigger Shoe for Easier Fitting

Finally, the trigger shoe is intentionally made slightly taller. Because of this, gunsmiths gain additional material to achieve a precise fit, even in frames that fall outside ideal specifications. As a result, installation becomes easier and the final fit feels tighter and more refined.

Compatibility

Designed Specifically for Single‑Stack Pistols

• Fits single‑stack 1911 pistols only

• Not compatible with double‑stack or 2011‑pattern frames
